Chapter 952 Eye-opening (1/2)
In ancient times, all African countries had a complete chieftain system, and the whole of
Africa was a tribal society
These large and s existed in South Africa, Caeria, Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and C么te d'Ivoire
The grand chieftain was the supreme ruler of various tribal associations and had
absolute power in all things, such asover the ad sacrificial rites, adjudicating arguable cases, collecting taxes
and so on
In soovern to the size of their territory, their population, and their
economic importance
Zulu people still had many traditional customs To the present day, the chiefs were still
the speakers of the tribe In addition, the main tribe was divided intoits own chief
When the British ruled over South Africa, they had attempted to reduce the influence of
the Zulu people by forcibly abolishi+ng system of chieftain hierarchy However, that did
not help The position of chief was determined by one's birth, and the Zulu stubbornly
and firmly followed their leaders
The lion hunter explained these customs to Li Du When he heard about the chief, Li Du
asked, ”Are you the chief of your tribe?”
At this, the lion hunter laughed ”No, I am the rebel of my tribe How can I be a chief?
The chief and I are enemies”
Li Du was surprised ”Why?”
The lion hunter sed the subject
”We Zulus are polyga our Zulu tribe?”
Seeing that he avoided the question, Li Du didn't press further Set it, I think one wife is enough Having several would be too tiresoreeood to have , I could hunt lions with just a spear I spent too ht a hyena”
Hyena was an ani skills Otherwise, it would not have gained
the nareat to be able to fight hyenas
however, this was not the point Li Du did not mean physical weariness, butthe point, though, since he realized that he and
the lion hunter would never agree in this respect
Big Ivan and Lu Guan, however, were interested in the topic and started to ask
questions The lion hunter liked to talk about it as well, and shared froa African chieftains, many of whom had more than a
dozen wives In the lion hunter's tribe, their chief had twelve wives The oldest was
seventy years old, while the youngest was the sahter He had
65 children, not counting the dead, and a large family, which helped him to assert his
authority
”The one who had set the highest record in this respect was a chief of the kingdom of
Benin in ancient ti his life, man, more
than 4,000!” the lion hunter said with e Ivan's eyes almost popped out ”Man, I don't know if I have even seen four
thousand women in my life till now!”
”It was the same in the ancient Chinese ie of history
Satisfied with their attitude, the lion hunter went on, ”And after the chief's death, he
chose 400 of the youngest, most beautiful women and ordered them to drink poisoned
wine and die with hi Ivan and Lu Guan cursed together
